From mid-May, the bookseller draws attention to the importance of storytelling<\/em><\/p><\/p>\n\n Reading and telling stories enriches children\u2019s vocabulary, improves listening comprehension, develops imagination and emotional intelligence, relieves tension, and also strengthens the bond between children and adults \u2014 the beneficial developmental effects of storytelling have now been confirmed by numerous Hungarian and international studies. Libri Mini\u2019s 30-day challenge also aims to highlight these positive effects: starting in mid-May, the bookseller will support parents, grandparents, and professionals working with children by recommending a story for shared reading every day.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>\n\n \u201cStory hunger is an innate human trait,\u201d says Lilla Tak\u00e1cs-Babicz, psychologist, story therapist, and expert of the Libri Mini Shelf. Libri Mini is now taking part in \u201csatisfying\u201d this need through a challenge launching in mid-May: for 30 consecutive days, it will recommend fairy tales and other children\u2019s stories and reading materials day by day. The goal of the challenge is to make storytelling part of everyday life and to encourage families to spend a little time reading together every day \u2014 with both younger and older children.<\/p><\/p>\n\n As part of the newly launched challenge, Libri encourages parents, grandparents, and educators to read as much and as diversely as possible to children. The dedicated webpage offers a taste of books by Hungarian and international authors \u2014 thanks to the uploaded preview excerpts, adults and children alike can discover classic and contemporary fairy tales as well as many recent releases.<\/p>\n\n \u201cWe learn through stories; they help our socialization and support us in understanding ourselves and the world around us. Storytelling can never begin too early: some mothers already read stories, recite nursery rhymes, or sing to their unborn child during pregnancy in order to soothe them, connect with them, and make not only the mother\u2019s heartbeat but also her voice familiar and comforting to the child,\u201d says Lilla Tak\u00e1cs-Babicz.<\/p><\/p>\n\n According to the psychologist, very young children should first be introduced to short nursery rhymes that build body awareness, either read aloud or recited from memory. Even if there is not always time for storytelling during the day, it is important that reading a story becomes part of the bedtime routine. The expert adds that while for toddlers and preschoolers storytelling can help them unwind from an overstimulating outside world, for preteens and teenagers shared reading with a parent \u2014 for example discussing a young adult novel together \u2014 can deepen the parent-child relationship, while also contributing to raising children who later become adult readers themselves.<\/p>\n\n Alongside the launch of the 30-day challenge, Libri Mini is also introducing a closed Facebook group called the Libri Mini Book Club<\/em>. Here, members can find book recommendations and articles tailored to children\u2019s ages and interests, while also being the first to hear about Libri Mini programs for children and selected children\u2019s book promotions.<\/p><\/p>\n\n Libri Mini was launched in 2024 with the aim of helping parents, grandparents, and professionals working with children navigate the wide selection of children\u2019s books; supporting the development of young readers; and offering guidance in processing and discussing the stories children read. As part of the Libri Mini Shelf<\/em> initiative, a jury of experts selects what they consider to be the best newly published books, categorized by age group. Each month, the selected titles are organized around a different theme and offer exciting, high-quality reading material for children aged 0\u201312. In Libri bookstores and in Libri Mini\u2019s dedicated store, the currently recommended books are marked with a Libri Mini sticker. More information about the current selections can be found on the Libri Mini subpage.<\/p>
